Used primarily as a corrosion inhibitor in industrial applications, particularly for protecting metal surfaces in closed systems like boilers, cooling towers, and pipelines. It forms a protective layer on metal surfaces, preventing oxidation and rust formation. It is also employed in the preservation of machinery and equipment during storage or transportation, especially in humid or corrosive environments. Additionally, it finds use in the formulation of anti-corrosive coatings and lubricants for metal parts. Its effectiveness in inhibiting corrosion makes it valuable in extending the lifespan of metal components in various industries.
